Feankie Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 They are such a beautiful order and Mother Cecelia is such a dear! She sums up their life so well and makes you want to jump up and apply :)
inperpetuity Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 It's true, Mother Cecelia seems wonderful. I have been thinking about writing to them again. I spent a lot of time visiting with them in the beginning when they were in Pennsylvania and there were only six of them but decided that applying for entrance wasn't the thing to do at the time.
maximillion Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 If I was discerning now, I'd be on a plane to them PDQ!
ChristinaTherese Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) If I was discerning now, I'd be on a plane to them PDQ! Bach. (Or does nobody understand that reference?) ETA: Or maybe, being VS, we needn't bring PDQ Bach into things.... Edited April 24, 2014 by Christina Thérèse
Ancilla Domini Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 Bach. (Or does nobody understand that reference?) ETA: Or maybe, being VS, we needn't bring PDQ Bach into things.... Haha! That's exactly what I thought when I read PDQ. XD The Unbegun Symphony... :P
cartermia Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Okay so I know this is a super old thread but I just wanted to say thank you for the insight on these sisters (and how to write a letter to the novice mistress) before I sent a letter to them! They have been on my list (as #1) for over two years and this past week I sought permission from my spiritual director to write a letter to them and he agreed. I wrote my letter to them on Tuesday and mailed it yesterday to give me time to back out (lol!) This is my first contact with their community (in reality any community that I actually have had my heart set on...) I had some contact with the Passionist here in KY but I was mainly communication with them to get a feel for religious life in general. I have never had a desire to become a Passionist. For all those who know me on here, y'all know I have loved the Benedictine spirituality since the very beginning. Lol prayers please sorry for the rant.
TheresaThoma Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 Carter that is exciting! I'm scheduled to visit them in Jan and I am really looking forward to it. I've emailed with the novice mistress a couple of times and she has been so nice. I will be spending 6 days there so I'm hoping to get a really good idea about their life and such.

I return to Mater Redemptoris the day after (so therefore no social media there). But I will PM you with an email address if you want to keep in touch.

And please be assured of my prayers for you!
